Kayak Build

This is a project I've been wanting to do for some time now and it's been progressing between other projects. The design is the "microBootlegger Sport" from Guillemot Kayaks. It's constructed mostly of cedar with fibreglass or carbon fibre cloth set in epoxy as reinforcement. The cedar strips are fitted using a rolling bevel and almost all additional parts are made from scratch.
